In Judith's short life, the street smart punk has already proved to be a survivor, but now she'll have to fight to remain the last one standing!It's 1984 - Reaganomics are in full swing, Herbie Hancock ruled the first MTV Music Video Awards, movie-goers met The Ghostbusters and The Terminator, Indira Ghandi was assassinated, B.A. Baracus pitied fools, and a third rate cosmetics company single-handedly destroyed civilization. Is Judith, a 17-year-old chain-smoking delinquent, humanity's last hope?
In the upcoming ALPHA GIRL miniseries, co-creators Jeff Roenning and Jean-Paul Bonjour are plotting plenty of trouble for Judith. Robert Love is illustrating Judith's close calls with the masses of flesh-hungry zombie women and the men who hunt them. ALPHA GIRL promises to be the action-packed gore fest that you've been waiting for!
"When I got hooked on comics in 1980 I quickly found that the best titles were relegated to the 25 cent box. Creepy, Tales From The Crypt, and Ghostly Tales were my favorites, but they never went far enough," explained Roenning. "ALPHA GIRL has been a chance to not only quench my bloodlust, but to do it with a kick-ass heroine."
"As a child of the 1980s, it has been a blast drawing a comic that takes place during my formative years," said Love. "The Adidas track suits, big hair, and the '80's rock 'n' roll and hip hop - I'm definitely having fun!"
"I cut class my sophomore year of high school to go hang out, smoke cigarettes, and check out girls. I ended up watching a movie called Evil Dead 2. When I saw that flick I had found my calling in life," added Bonjour. "When Roenning approached me with the concept of a cosmetic company turning all women into man-eaters, with a kick-ass protagonist like Judith, I was all in. If you're like me and a fan of the zombie horror genre when the lead character has a flash of attitude, you are in for a hell of a ride."
This "Return of the Living Dead meets Zombieland" new miniseries will appeal to fans of the dark humor and horrors of CHEW and HACK/SLASH. For those that can't wait until February, Cassie Hack fans will discover another kick-ass femme fatale in the back pages of HACK/SLASH #11, where we're sharing a sneak peek of ALPHA GIRL #1!
ALPHA GIRL #1, a 32-page full-color horror comic book for $2.99, will be on sale in stores and on digital platforms on February 1st, and is available for order in the December issue of Previews. HACK/SLASH #11 will be available on December 28th.
